Scientists have learned a bit more about how the universe evolved by studying leaky galaxies. They've taken a closer look at large star-forming galaxies to measure radiation leaks to see how the first stars were formed.

In this case, the scientists looked for the ideal star-forming galaxy that contained holes in its cold gas cover by using the radiation leak measurement method. Normally, this cover stretches across a galaxy like a blanket. While it's an effective tool for creating stars, this cover usually presents...
